In Nathaniel’s Hawthorn’s short story, “Young Goodman Brown”, directs us that Hawthorn intended this to be an allegory. When pulling out and emphasizing on the main ideas, American religion and hypocrisy is pulled out. Behind this idea, curiosity plays a major role in Goodman’s actions which is followed by the effects and Goodman’s mental state.

Not even faith and family will chanhe his mindset. Not even Satan
